Volunteer-Internship: Leadership Track

Start as a volunteer-intern and take on a project, then a team, as you show you can lead.

What you will do

• Spend your first months inside a field programme.
• Take over a project: the plan, the people, the money and the report.
• Mentor new interns and help choose the next ones.

Who this is for

• You can commit nine months or more.
• You want to run things, not only help with them.
• You are fine starting unpaid while you earn trust.

What you get

• Real responsibility: first a project, then a team.
• Strong volunteer-interns can later apply for our Fellowship.
• A free letter confirming your dates and your work when you finish.

What it costs

This placement is unpaid. A monthly fee covers your shared room, meals, internet, training, mentoring, local transport for the work, and the papers for your visa.

• From abroad: USD 810 for one month, USD 1,350 for three, USD 1,980 for six, plus a refundable USD 45 deposit. You need health and evacuation insurance.
• From India: ₹9,000 a month for one month, falling to ₹3,000 a month for six, plus a refundable ₹1,500 deposit for some housing.
• Not included: flights, visa fees and insurance.
• Group discounts and scholarships can lower the fee.
• The fee is less than your stay costs us.
